Here’s a 2011 Melancon Pro Artist in a very, very good Mary Kaye White lacquer finish. Gerard Melancon builds guitars out of Thibodaux, Lousiana. He grew up with lots of great Cajun and country music in his family and the surrounding area, gigged with a number of rock bands and played sessions before gradually shifting to guitar building.

Guitar Arrived Safe and Sound!

The guitar arrived safe and sound yesterday morning and I’ve been playing the heck out of it. What a joy! Thank you Nevin for the great packing job! PS: Grant-when I’m in T.O. I’ll drop by and cover the $4.80, or buy you a latte!

The Finest “Go To” Place For All Us Guitarists!

I really like what you folks have done with the web site and now with this Newsletter posting. Please keep these things coming. Another reason why The Twelfth Fret is just about the finest ‘go to’ place for all of us guitarists, and those who pursue other fretted instruments.

Ecstatic About The Level of Repair And End Result!

I recently took a 60’s era DelVecchio resonated guitar in to your repair shop. Dave Hill did all the work (I believe?) It took about 8 months as the neck had to be straightened (steamed) several times and re-planed. Plus re-fretted and some other small things. I paid and took my instrument home.

I have neglected letting you know how ecstatic I am about the level of the repair and the end result. The guitar is extremely playable and responsive. It tunes better than it ever has and the tone is unbelievable! I couldn’t be happier. It was expensive, but it’s plain to anyone that this is a superior repair and the workmanship is first rate. You get what you pay for and I don’t mind spending the money for your excellence.

Thank you Dave! A million times! I’m a very happy camper and a loyal Twelfth Fret customer. Forever.
